Pralines n Cream Fudge
A couple weekends ago, I gave Pralines and Cream Fudge a try from Something Swanky. It's a little on the rich-feeling side because of the white chocolate.
My mom loves pralines, so I thought this would be a nice treat for her...
It looks great, smells great, but it's okay. I'm sure it would have turned out better if I could have found Kraft caramel squares. As it is, I had to deal with the grocery's. I heated and heated and melted them, but once cooled, it got hard again.
People with fillings should beware if you don't start out with soft caramel squares like Kraft's.
After the fact I learned I could have added some milk to get it softer.
Personally, I think it would have been fine with 3/4 of the caramel. If I try this again in future I think I'll halve the caramel portion from the Homemade Twix recipe. That caramel was much softer.
It wasn't Mom's favorite, so I took the bulk of it to work and it some of it disappeared but whatever was left went home with Crystal. I still have some and the caramel has softened up a smidgen, but still slow chewing.
